    As of March 31, 1997, loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis amounted to
    approximately $989,403. The interest income that would have been recorded
    had these loans performed under the original contract terms was $27,245 for
    the three months ended March 31, 1997. At March 31, 1997, $233,763 in loans
    were past due greater than 90 days but still accruing interest.

    As of March 31, 1997, the Bank's recorded investment in impaired loans,
    defined as nonaccrual loans, was $989,403 and the related valuation
    allowance was $114,568. This valuation allowance is included in the
    allowance for possible loan losses in the accompanying statement of
    condition.

    As of March 31, 1997, approximately 80% of the Company's loans were secured
    by real estate. As such, a substantial portion of the Company's borrowers'
    ability to repay their loans is dependent on the economic environment of the
    real estate industry in the Company's market area.

    In the ordinary course of business, the Company may extend credit to
    officers, directors or their associates. These loans are subject to the
    Company's normal lending policy. An analysis of such loans, all of which are
    current as to principal and interest payments, is as follows:

4.  Allowance for Possible Loan Losses:

    The allowance for possible loan losses is based on estimates and ultimate
    losses may vary from current estimates. These estimates are reviewed
    periodically and, as adjustments become known, they are reflected in
    operations in the periods in which they become known.

    An analysis of the change in the allowance for possible loan losses during
    1997, is as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


                       UNITY BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


This financial review presents management's discussion and analysis of the
Company's financial condition and results of operations. It should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated condensed financial statements and the
accompanying notes.


FINANCIAL CONDITION AT MARCH 31, 1997

The Company's total assets increased to $187.6 million at March 31, 1997, $14.9
million, or 8.6%, above year end 1996 total assets of $172.7. Total loans
increased by 7.6%, to $104.3 million from $96.9 million at December 31, 1996.
The Company's securities portfolio, including securities held to maturity and
available for sale, remained relatively unchanged from $37.3 million at March
31, 1997, compared to $37.2 million at December 31, 1996. Shareholders' equity
increased to $18.2 million at March 31, 1997 from $18.0 million at December 31,
1996, an increase of 1.0%, or $200 thousand. The growth in the Company's total
assets, loans receivable and deposits was a result of the Company's branch
expansion, continued penetration of its existing markets, emphasis on customer
service, competitive rate structures, selective marketing and growing product
line. The increase in the Company's shareholders' equity was primarily
attributable to the Company's increase in retained earnings, issuance of stock
awards and exercise of stock options as of March 31, 1997. These increases in
total assets were funded primarily by the Company's total deposits which
increased to $168.0 million at March 31, 1997, an increase of $14.4 million, or
9.4%, over total deposits of $153.6 million at December 31, 1996. Time deposits
increased by $6.1 million, or 9.4% and interest bearing demand deposits
increased by $3.9 million, or 18.5%. The increase in time deposits was primarily
caused by the Company's promotional activities at its new locations, as well as
the Company's continued penetration of its existing markets. Deposits are
obtained primarily from the market areas which the Company serves. As of March
31, 1997 the Company did not have any brokered deposits and neither solicited
nor offered premiums for such deposits.


COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS 
ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996

   NET INCOME

For the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company earned net income of $196
thousand, or $.10 per share, compared to net income of $214 thousand, or $.17
per share, earned for the comparable period of 1996. Earnings per share were
calculated on 1,972,238 weighted average shares outstanding at March 31, 1997,
compared to 1,283,966 shares outstanding a year earlier, a 53.6% increase
totaling 688,272 shares. The changes in the components of net income included a
$571 thousand, or 46.9%, increase in net interest income after provision for
loan losses, and a $127 thousand, or 29.0% increase in non-interest income.
These items were offset by an increase in non-interest expenses of $726
thousand, or 55.7%, as the Company continued its branch expansion and increased
staff required to support and deliver its new products.


                                       9

   NET INTEREST INCOME

The Company's interest income increased by $866 thousand, or 36.0%, to $3.3
million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $2.4 million for the
comparable period of 1996. The increase resulted from a $49.3 million increase
in the Company's average earning assets. Interest expense increased by $376
thousand, or 35.8%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997
from $1.1 million for the comparable period of 1996. This increase in interest
expense was primarily attributable to the $49.0 million, or 41.1%, increase in
the Company's total deposits from $119.0 million as of March 31, 1996 to $168.0
million as of March 31, 1997 and the change in the composition of the Company's
deposits, as a greater percentage of the Company's deposits were in time
deposits, which generally pay higher rates of interest. As interest expense
increased more rapidly than interest income, the Company experienced a reduction
in its net interest margin from 4.55% for the three months ended March 31, 1996
to 4.43% for the three months ended March 31, 1997.


   PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The Company's provision for loan losses decreased by $81 thousand to $58
thousand for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $139 thousand for the
comparable period of 1996. This decrease in the provision for loan losses
reflects the $7.4 million growth in the loan portfolio for the three month per
ended March 31, 1997, compared to a $10.7 million growth for the same period
ended March 31, 1996.


   NON-INTEREST INCOME

Service charges on deposits increased $78 thousand to $163 thousand for the
three months ended March 31, 1997, a 91.2% increase over $85 thousand reported
March 31, 1996. The majority of the increase is due to growth in the demand
accounts which includes higher volumes of transactions processed along with
repricing transaction fees in March 1996.

Other income increased 93%, to $131 thousand for the three month period ending
March 31, 1997 due to a larger portfolio of loan serviced and two new loan
products which accounted for an increase in loan application and appraisal fee
income. In January 1997, the Company introduced two new products to augment its
lending efforts, a full-service residential mortgage department and "Cash Flow
Manager". The mortgage department offers a variaty of traditional fixed and
variable rate products. "Cash Flow Manager" involves the purchase of accounts
receivables on a recourse basis as a means of generating both fees and interest
income to the Company and providing small businesses with a means of increasing
their cash availablity for operating needs or expansion plans.

The Company's gain on sale of loans increased by $17 thousand to $270 thousand
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $252 thousand for the comparable
period of 1996. This increase in the gain on sale of loans reflects the
Company's increased participation in the Small Business Administration's("SBA")
guaranteed loan program as the Company has been designated a "preferred lender"
for the states of New Jersey, Delaware, New York and Pennsylvania. Under the SBA
program, the SBA guarantees up to 90% of the principal of a qualifying loan. The
Company then sells the guaranteed portion of the loan into the secondary market.


   NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

The Company's other expenses increased by $726 thousand, or 55.6%, to $2.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $1.3 million for the
comparable period of 1996. Increases $422 thousand in salaries and employee
benefits, $135 thousand in occupancy expenses and $170 thousand in other
operating expenses. The increases in employee benefits, occupancy and other
operating expenses were primarily attributable to the company's continued
expansion, as the Company opened two new branches in July and December 1996 and
added two new loan products in January 1997. In addition, the Company completed
the move into its new headquarters building in April 1996.
